Hi, I’m Emily Rascon.
This isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of what we believe in. We’re here to create work that matters, led by a shared commitment to quality and care. Our studios foster confidence, resilience, and creativity so every student can thrive, perform with purpose, and carry the art of dance forward.
Read more about our mission below.
At ECDA, we are committed to creating a home for dancers of all levels, from those exploring the joy of recreational dance to those pursuing rigorous training for competition or professional careers. We strive to foster a welcoming and supportive environment where diversity is celebrated, and every dancer feels valued and empowered.
Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of dance while instilling essential skills such as discipline, confidence, creativity, and collaboration. Through our programs, we provide meaningful opportunities for students to connect with professional artists and engage with the broader dance community.
At ECDA, we are more than a studio—we are a collective of passionate individuals dedicated to nurturing artistry, personal growth, and lasting connections that extend far beyond the dance floor.
The Ultimate Parent Experience
At ECDA, we believe that a positive studio experience should extend beyond the dance floor. That’s why we are committed to providing the ultimate parent experience—from the moment you walk through our doors.
Our welcoming and comfortable waiting areas, streamlined scheduling, and transparent communication ensure that parents feel informed, valued, and connected. We prioritize clarity in class information, billing, and studio updates to eliminate stress and keep you in the loop.
Conveniently located near a variety of local amenities, we make it easy for families to balance busy schedules while their dancers train. Whether you’re waiting in our lounge, running errands, or catching up on work, we’ve created an environment that supports your whole family—not just your dancer.
Our Mission
At East Coast Dance Arts, we've designed our studio with our dancers' comfort, safety, and success in mind.
Our facility features three spacious studios with bright, welcoming lighting, professional ballet barres on every wall, and shock-absorbing sprung subflooring topped with high-quality Marley flooring. This professional dance surface is ideal for all styles of dance, providing the support and protection dancers need to train safely and confidently.
Families can enjoy our large, comfortable lobby with additional seating, creating a welcoming space while classes are in session. Dancers have access to personal cubbies for their belongings, a spacious dressing room, a private changing room, and clean, gender-neutral restrooms to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported.
Every aspect of our facility has been thoughtfully designed to create a positive, professional environment where dancers of all ages can learn, grow, and thrive.
